Answer:

Solutions x= 9 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-55=26

x^2=55+26

x^2=81

(take square root of both sides)

x=9

(squaring negatives is the same as squaring the same positive)

x also=-9

Answer:

x= 9 x= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: x^2-55=26

Move -55 to the other side - x^2=55+26 = X^2 = 81

Solve - x^2=81 - 9^2 = 81 and -9^2=81 (a negative squared becomes a positive)

A batting machine uses an automatic baseball feeder. During baseball
Inessa05 [86]

The feeders in battling machine are represented in proportions and fractions.

  • The equation that represents the problem is: \mathbf{\frac 16x + 15 = \frac 23x}
  • The feeder can hold <em>30 baseballs</em>, when full

The given parameters are:

<em />\mathbf{Initial = \frac 16x}<em> ------ 1/6 full</em>

<em />\mathbf{Additional = 15}<em> --- baseballs added</em>

<em />\mathbf{Final = \frac 23x}<em> ---- 2/3 full</em>

<em />

So, the equation that represents the problem is:

\mathbf{Initial + Additional = Final}

So, we have:

\mathbf{\frac 16x + 15 = \frac 23x}

The number of baseballs it can hold is calculated as follows:

\mathbf{\frac 16x + 15 = \frac 23x}

Multiply through by 6

\mathbf{x + 90 = 4x}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{4x - x = 90 }

\mathbf{3x = 90 }

Divide through by 3

\mathbf{x = 30 }

Hence, the feeder can hold 30 baseballs, when full

According to u.s. postal regulations, the girth plus the length of a parcel sent by mail may not exceed 108 inches, where by "gi
Pepsi [2]
Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
  V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
  dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
  0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
  x = 0, x = d/6

a) The largest possible volume is
  (d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
  = 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³

b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
  d/6 = 18 inches square by
  d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long

m_a_m_a [10]
Sense there's only a y, you'd assume y is 1 or 1y.

you'd make the 1 a negative 1 to get rid of the subtraction sign.

you'd add together the 2 ys making it 2y. then add -1 + 3, which would be 2.

so, the answer would be 2y + 2.

What are the focus and directrix of the parabola that is the graph of the function f(x)=x²?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y=x^2

comparing it with standard equation x^2=4ay

so 4a=1

a=\frac{1}{4}

so Focus of parabola is (0,0)

directrix

y=-a

here a=\frac{1}{4}

y=-\frac{1}{4}
